doyouevensunbro··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
Either Claude or OpenAI, going by all the ads I see.
doyouevensunbro··on How AI conquered the US economy: A visual FAQ
> because the oligarchs demanded it

There, summed it up for you.

doyouevensunbro··on We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam to return to OpenAI as CEO
We’re at ~250k tech industry layoffs this year and a single CEO drama dominates the media because “AI”.
doyouevensunbro··on A shortage of teachers for computer science classes in California
I will say that the Apple IIc that I got exposed to in elementary school is the reason I’m into computers and got a CompSci degree. Some exposure to computers and possibly Scratch early should be seen as a good thing.
doyouevensunbro··on Google Cloud Spanner is now half the cost of Amazon DynamoDB
I wonder what the costs are compared to Aurora. I haven't been on AWS for a while but loved the service when I was.
doyouevensunbro··on Microsoft has not stopped forcing Edge on Windows 11 users
Don’t ever hit the help menu. So the problem is that MS opens help in it’s own browser? That complaint seems disingenuous at best.
doyouevensunbro··on Microsoft has not stopped forcing Edge on Windows 11 users
I launch apps from the Win key all the time, never ending up in Edge. The worst for me is ending up in “Internet Options” when I want to launch IntelliJ.
doyouevensunbro··on Microsoft has not stopped forcing Edge on Windows 11 users
I’m using Windows 11 and nothing forces open Edge on my machine. Every link opens in Brave like I told it to.
doyouevensunbro··on Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskin
I don't see any of that. Its all disabled in my Brave browser.
doyouevensunbro··on Apple is rewriting Foundation in Swift
Just looking at Java’s upcoming string interpolation makes me so happy I moved to Kotlin years ago.

doyouevensunbro··on YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
I would paid for Youtube Premium if I could get it for $11.99 a month. But since I used Youtube TV in the past my price is $15.99 a month and that’s not a price I want to pay.
doyouevensunbro··on We asked the SEC for reasonable crypto rules for Americans
TIL that I can live in a Bitcoin
doyouevensunbro··on Zoom Abruptly Fires President Greg Tomb 'Without Cause'

doyouevensunbro··on US Marines defeat DARPA robot by hiding under a cardboard box
Kojima is a prophet, hallowed be his name.
doyouevensunbro··on It's time to put cancer warning labels on alcohol, experts say
I live in California, and I love it here, but the cancer warnings in everything really do absolutely nothing. They are comical at this point.
doyouevensunbro··on Overview of the 555-XXXX phone number
As an aside, loved when shows would acquire a real number to use, the best being CALL-TUR(K) from Scrubs

“I’ll always dial the ‘k’ for you”

doyouevensunbro··on 1959 Santa Susana meltdown
I live near here. They have built housing on top of the waste drainage area. We tried to protest but it did no good. They say they trucked out the rest of the waste but no one really believes it.
doyouevensunbro··on Shamelessness as a strategy (2019)
They listen for keywords and if the rambling speech has them then it's a match and the speech was a success.
doyouevensunbro··on Shamelessness as a strategy (2019)
Shamelessness doesn't have to only be used for nefarious purposes. I know engineers on my team suffer from imposter syndrome. I do not because I just always assume I know nothing :) I have no problem in a meeting or architecture review saying "Can you explain that a bit simpler for me" or something to that effect. Having the team understand the tasks at hand is way more important to me than what people think about me.
doyouevensunbro··on Designing the Characters of 'Cowboy Bebop'
I remember stumbling across Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim in the late 90’s. No idea about the show previously but was immediately hooked. Glad they picked it up.

[Edit] Looks like the AS promos are still on Youtube: https://youtu.be/Qh8JkogEaFs

doyouevensunbro··on Amazon issued 13,000 disciplinary notices at single U.S. warehouse
Or they are afraid of retaliation and losing their jobs? Amazon hits them with anti-union propaganda from day one. We’ve seen Walmart close locations that plan to unionize.

doyouevensunbro··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
They never have any examples to back their claim. But the message is always the same: the left has gone too far. Its clearly more important to get that out then it is to defend it with logic, probably because of the truthiness of the statement.
doyouevensunbro··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Thank you for this, internet stranger!
doyouevensunbro··on Japanese audio brand Onkyo files for bankruptcy
Shame, middle was right where I liked to be audio equipment wise. Ive had my Onkyo receiver for a long time, guess when I do finally replace it I’ll go high end.
doyouevensunbro··on Bad government policy is fueling the infant formula shortage
I have zero faith that once the government programs are stopped the second step of giving money to the poor would actually happen.
doyouevensunbro··on Ask HN: People who use different emails everywhere, who sold you to spammers?
Same here. Ends up making me regret donating at all, which someone has to realize would be the end result, right?
doyouevensunbro··on I'm a scam prevention expert and I got scammed
But I might miss out on a sweet extended warranty deal for my car.
doyouevensunbro··on I'm a scam prevention expert and I got scammed
None of my negative reviews about scammers have ever been approved by Amazon. I have just started taking my business elsewhere.
doyouevensunbro··on Substantially more monarch butterflies have arrived in California to overwinter
Monarch butterflies are beautiful and I want them to continue to exist. I can’t speak for others but for me that is reason enough.
doyouevensunbro··on “Put that in your pipe and smoke it”
Its good to see that letters to the editor haven’t changed much in over 200 years.
